Captain Steele,
As President of the Patients’ Committee at Ste. Anne’s Hospital, I was moved when I learned that your organization had generously donated 72 gifts for distribution among our hospitalized and isolated patients over the Holiday Season.
This kind, warmhearted and very generous gesture is greatly appreciated and, on behalf of the patients at Ste. Anne’s Hospital, we thank you. I can assure you that these gifts brought a great deal of joy to those who received them.
The wards, as a whole, responded with a great deal of enthusiasm. Louis Lamarche, Recreation Coordinator, contacted the wards to measure their level of interest and oversaw the distribution of the presents on the various wards.
I, along with all those you touched with your kindness, would like to wish you health, happiness and peace throughout 2004.
Warmest regards,
Mr. Marcel Otis
President
Patients’ Committee
